Problems with Z170M Extrem 4 and DDR4 3200

No advances here :-(
I changed the modules to A1-B1 slots...the system appears more stable, but finally I got error in 20 minutes in OCCT test

I tried to test the modules separately (3200 16-18-18-38 1.35v) ...one module in A1 slot and several test....in this way I didnt got errors in 30 minutes test.

Same with the other....no errors in 30 minutes. So, separately they Works at 3200 XMP2.0 Profile1 configuration....together only Works up to 2800 15-15-15-35

I dont understand the problem...it will be because my CPU has some limitation being non-k (i7 6700)??

	I have the memory in slots B2 and A2 (motherboard documentation reports this configuration for 2 modules) I tried to change the modules to A1 and B1 slots, but I had problems with boot....anywhere I didnt clear the CMOS with the change. I will try A1-B1 configuration and clear the CMOS :-)

	The last thing I can think of trying is installing the RAM in different slots, if you have them in slots A1 and B1 then try slots A2 and B2. If that still does not work then you will either have to use the RAM at 2800 or return it, either for a refund or a new kit. The RAM itself may be bad. Remember to clear CMOS when you switch slots.

	Yes, but the system is very unstable...blue screens in Windows all time. I reverted to 1.30 BIOS and 2800 spped :-(

	Did you try setting the RAM to 2800 then using the overclocking facilities to overclock it to 3200?

	Yes you can always revert if you have issues though I doubt you will given all it adds is the overclocking feature for the RAM, so far as I can tell the rest of the BIOS is the same as 1.30. Just be sure to use the instant flash method, it is more reliable.

	I have just the previous one (1.30) non-beta. This versión beta 1.32 only includes a new logo??? If I have problems with beta versión.. could I instal the previous bios 1.30?
